In the polymerization of benzene by aluminum chloride-cupric chloride, the yield of p-polyphenyl varied in-versely with the amount of added water. Polymer yield attained a maximum value, almost quantitative, at an AlClg-CuCL molar ratio of 2: 1. The cuprous chloride formed by reduction of the oxidant is present as a C6H6· AlClg-CuCl complex. Large amounts of added cuprous chloride inhibited the reaction completely, whereas smaller quantities acted as a promoter. With cupric halide as oxidant, aluminum chloride, aluminum bromide, and antimony pentachloride exhibited catalytic activity. In thepresence of aluminum halide catalyst, polymerization occurred with the oxidizing agents, cupric chloride, cupric bromide, lead dioxide, manganese dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen trioxide, chloranil, and p-benzoquinone. There was evidence of chain termination by the nitrogen oxides and chloranil. The theoretical aspects are treated.Recently, it was shown2 that the aromatic nucleus can be polymerized smoothly in the system, aromatic monomer-Lewis acid catalyst-oxidant. This con-stituted the first case wherein an aromatic monomer functioned in a well defined polymerization leading to homopolymer. For example, benzene was converted to p-polyphenyl on treatment with aluminum chloride-cupric chloride under mild conditions.
